Tectonic

N.B. M.L. Snowden learned the art of sculpture from her father, George Holburn Snowden, N.A. (1901-1990). The family shared a notable tradition in art. Upon winning the Prix de Rome of 1926, George Snowden was given 38 of the original sculpting tools of Auguste Rodin by his teacher and mentor, Robert Georges Eberhard (1884-1965). Eberhard had been a protégé, friend, and sculpture assistant to Rodin, and after Rodin's death in 1917, received some of the master's tools. Eberhard immigrated to the U.S. and became Chairman of the Sculpture Department at Yale University, where he and George Snowden met. After her father's death, M.L. inherited these historic tools as well as the formulas for the luminous patinas for which she is known.
Estimate $15,000-25,000
